Objective:
The aim of the study was on the basis of the study of clinical manifestations and mechanisms of the formation of disorders of psychological adaptation among the combatants, to develop the principles and program of their medical and psychological rehabilitation.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: The study was attended by 153 people at the sanatorium and resort stage of treatment, of which 98 people were combatants and 55 people were civilians. The study used a set of methods aimed at the study of emotional disorders (HDRS, BDI, Spielberger Scale, "Asthenic state scale"), individual psychological features (Multilevel personal questionnaire "Adaptability," Test questionnaire G. Shmishek, K. Leonhard), features of psychosocial functioning (Mississippian scale of PTSD-military version) and quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF).
Results:
Results: At the stage of sanatorium treatment of combatants is important readaptation to peaceful living conditions. A clinical and psychological analysis of combatants showed that the presence of experienced state of subjective distress and emotional disorder leads to a decrease in the productivity of adaptation to a stressful event. The stress factor disrupted the integrity of the micro-social network of combatants and their system of social support and social values, with the prevailing sense of inability to overcome problems and build plans. A detailed analysis of the nature of depressive and anxiety manifestations was carried out, which allowed to determine the predictors of the violation of adaptation in combatants. Thus, on the basis of the study of clinical manifestations and mechanisms of the formation of disorders of psychological adaptation among the participants of hostilities, the principles of their medical and psychological rehabilitation at the sanatorium and resort stage of treatment are developed.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The peculiarities of stress response in combatants as a component of personal potential play a role in the formation of predictors of psychological adaptation disorders among combatants. Psychological intervention at the tertiary stage of rehabilitation (sanatorium-resort) should be targeted, taking into account individual-psychological characteristics (preventors) and psychosocial factors (predictors).
